Unfinished Business

I’m hearing crickets in the high trees but I don’t see a single one

I’m staring down at my scratched up knees

When someone put the Eagles on

All the tools are in the tool shed this night is in the bag

It’s all quite on the western front. But I wish i had

The fortitude of a saint

My head screwed on but it ain’t

My better half let me down

I got unfinished business in town

I’m laying low staying home

Leaving well enough alone

See She’s out of play Out of bounds

My unfinished business in town

Now days I like it peaceful

Dramas in my distant past

I said goodbye to those people

I can’t think that fast

Getting down that leather bound book

Watching the firewood glow

Settling in for the evening thinking bout the power of no I wish I had

The fortitude of a saint

My head screwed on but it ain’t

My better half let me down

I got unfinished business in town

Laying low staying home

Leaving well enough alone

She’s out of play Out of bounds

My unfinished business in town

Sitting in traffic biting and my nails watching the meter burn

Eyes straight ahead setting my sails

I pass the point of no return

I pay the man and I curse my name

When am I ever gonna learn ?

I check your window for signs of life

I see the secret sign is on

I wish I had the fortitude of a saint

My head screwed on but it ain’t

My better half let me down

I got unfinished business in town

I’m laying low staying home

Leaving well enough alone

She’s out of play Out of bounds

My unfinished business in town
